Shane Harvey finished with five goals - including North Heidelberg's opening four of the match - as the Harvey duo led the charge for the Dogs.
“If you have someone like him you can throw down forward, it is a good luxury to have,” North Heidelberg coach Steve Saddington said.
“A bit of class got us to the top in the end.
“It was like the old days of the late ’90s and early 2000s when we were one of the powerhouse sides of Division 1.
“There were cars all around the ground ... I think people got their value out of the day.”
